Yes I know all about Christmas Toy  building. LOL   In the last 25 years 
or so I have had to use just about ever tool and machine in my shop at 
Christmas time. Milling machine, drill press, lathe, MIG and TIG welder, 
press, brake and shear etc., etc. just to put together some toy that on 
the box it says all the tool needed are pliers, screwdriver, and hammer. 
This with the instructions writen in 7 languges ( none in American ).   
How does tab A ( 1/2 inch flat metal piece ) go into slot B ( 1/4 inch 
hole ) ????   Doug Odom  having a Merry  Christmas in big ditch
